It was a crispy cold night and her senior class had decided to make a summer party to remember the good old days.

Hinata Hyuga stood in a corner avoiding the man she loved. She was sure he had been there; she had heard people confirm so but she knew she wasn't strong enough to see him.

She'd known him since she was small, they were always in the same classes and they shared the same group of friends but she never let herself say the words her heart wanted to say, and now it was too late.

He had finally gotten a girl that made him happy; a girl who was not afraid to tell her feelings for him, unlike her.

She watched as her old friends chatted and drank happily. She watched in silence like she had always done, but the mixture of smoke and the never ending thoughts made her dizzy. She needed to get away.

In a quick motion, she wiggled herself out of the room and into a small closet where they got the cake. She allowed herself to breathe and felt relaxed, but then she heard the door open from behind.

"I knew it was you that had come in here," a male said from behind her, making the hair at the back of her neck erect.

She turned around and there he was, standing in front of her, grinning like the first time she had met him.

"How are you?" he asked, stepping closer to her, in which she answered by turning herself the other way.

"I'm fine," she said, her voice almost in soft whisper.

"Hina," he said her name softly making her heart ache. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Why would you ask that?" she asked.

"Well…I know that you and I weren't very close but I know we use to be a lot closer," he said followed by sigh. "I feel like you are avoiding me."

"No," she said, biting her lip. "That's crazy talk." she turned around to face him and felt frozen by just looking at him. She forced herself to smile, just so she could get away from him. "I'm not avoiding you." She was about to pass him but he grabbed her hand and dragged her back. Their eyes met as they looked inside one and other.
